ATEN 2L2510 33FT VGA HD15M-HD15M Cable
Overview
The ATEN 2L2510 is a 33-foot (10-meter) VGA cable terminated with HD15 male connectors on both ends. At 10 meters, it covers the typical distance between a rack-mounted KVM switch and a remote console station — enough reach for most server room or AV-over-analog installations without requiring an extender. The 2L2510 is purpose-built for ATEN's KVM product ecosystem, where matched cables reduce signal degradation and connector compatibility issues that generic cables can introduce at longer runs.
Compatibility
Designed for use with ATEN KVM switches, including the CS, CL, and KL series rack-mount and desktop units that use HD15 VGA monitor connections. Also compatible with any VGA-equipped monitor, projector, or display source using a standard HD15 female port — including legacy workstations, industrial PCs, and KVM console drawers commonly deployed in data centers and control rooms. Both ends are HD15 male, so verify that both the source and display have female HD15 ports before ordering.
Installation Notes
At 10 meters, VGA signal quality depends on source output strength and display sensitivity — most commercial-grade KVM switches and monitors handle this length without active boosting, but borderline analog sources may show softness or color fringing at the edges of the image. Route away from high-voltage power runs and fluorescent ballasts to minimize interference on an unshielded analog signal. For runs beyond 10 meters, consider a VGA extender rather than chaining cables. Finger-tighten the HD15 thumbscrews fully to avoid intermittent contact — a loose connector is the most common cause of flickering on VGA at distance. See the cable management accessories category for strain-relief and raceway options suited to permanent installations.
